@@rossydv yeah since the late 90’s…Google says 1996 single. This one from 1998 has been on my mind a lot. I don’t think I was crazy about it then but by now it has that nostalgia, I suppose. So a new like of an old song versus liking Duncan Sheik since the beginning. So many times over the years I’ve forgotten the name/composer so I had a hard time finding it again. I won’t forget now. 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6ioWOFz9XAM.htmlsi=aYzxEy6Xz_VMpwsv
@@EmilyTienne I recall that usually whichever song I’d buy the CD for, right away that was my least favorite song. Sometimes I’d never buy the CD just so I’d continue to enjoy it which actually mostly worked.
His chord progressions are so unique. I’ve played for well over a decade, and have never ran across another artist that uses these chords. He’s a very unique guy. His voice fits his melodies perfect. This guy is a REAL ARTIST.
I got my own composed song sneaked one of his so to speak mu-chords....Try strumming all open-six strings while your chord is F powerchord thus, F (root) and C (5th) notes
I was a 80's baby and a 90's kid, with ( pre anxiety and bipolar which in those didn't know what it was. He was my savior , with his words. I remember I would pass on going out with my friends and sometimes cry , and listen to his music , he would sing only to me it seems. He's gifted writing and tone in his voice is just as beautiful as Karen Carpenter , it seems as if he's only singing to you about you. I of course got help and great, but in my darkest moments of my life , he was .... my hero. Thank you Duncan. ..thank you.
Wow, same here, but a 60s kid, with the diagnoses. I was an SA kid in the 70s, with infertility in the 90s and a complete misunderstanding of myself. Currently homeless, in spite of holding a BA from a local small private college in the 80s. Lots of women who experience DV are here with me. It's a complicated time to be alive. Hope you are well. ❤
+pj od I saw him a year or so ago, and he played it - he said he had a hard time coming to grips with that music being a part of who he currently was, or something along those lines. Had to accept that it was ok that he was a pop star at one point.
This is got to be one of my favorite live performances ever! Very good live performer. Sounds clean and crisp like the album version. Not a lot of artists can do that.
I love this. Happened to catch it on the radio. Took me back to University days. Just snuck up on me. I absolutely love the lyrics. They endure much better than other things out there. Thank you so much for this. It describes my love I lost going to University that wasn’t sustainable anyways.
Just had a chance to meet Duncan. I think rehab must have went very well. He was in top form, and seemed really happy. I've met him twice now and he's just a terrific, nice guy with a ton of talent. He performed a few new songs at his show. I think we can expect a lot more great music from him in the future.
I met him...or tried to meet him too. I went to a show he did in Manhattan at a ritzy, upper class place called, "The Cafe Carlyle." Tickets cost about $120 or more. Meal cost $160 or more. I was such a fan that I just really wanted to see his show live because I was such a fan, so I was willing to fork out a few bucks. He played a short set. Only 8 songs total...including 2 songs that weren't even his. Then he walked amongst the crowd to meet and greet. I wasn't expecting this but I figured this would be a cool opportunity to thank the man for the music he's made, and just tell him that it really means a lot to me. I wanted to thank him. But instead of accepting my personal gratitude, he turned his back on me. LITERALLY. He wouldn't acknowledge that I was even there. He just kept thanking other people for coming. I waited patiently, as I didn't want to be rude. But some people kept coming and he kept thanking them and acting all friendly. So I waited. Then when no one else was walking past, I tried to acknowledge Mr. Sheik so I could thank him for his music. Again he showed me his back. He was letting me know that he was rejecting me. THAT'S who Duncan Sheik is. He's not a good guy. Not a nice guy. Not a decent human being. The guy is a jerk. He waited till I walked away...which I did soon after realizing what his game was. This is not the action of a decent person. This is the action of a narcissistic creep. I like his music too. But this person is not good. He's just really not. That ethereal sound that he emits. It's nice. But it's not genuine. It's not real. This clown is an egomaniacal buffoon who think's he's better than other people. Sorry for raining on your parade.
@@CesarJoel94 Joel, I wish it wasn't true, as his music is among some of my favorite, but this happened. I'll never forgot it. He was gracious and overly courteous to every single there but me. The irony is that it is with all likelihood that I was the biggest fan of his in the room. Most of those people in the ritzy Cafe Carlyle were just there for whatever music act was on that night. Some were some real fans but it's unlikely that they were fans like me. Why he singled me out is up for debate. He was standing about 3 feet behind me talking with some people he appeared to know when I joked to the friend I was with, "wanna get an autograph?" Could that be it? I seriously doubt it but it's something. It just doesn't make sense but I'll never forget that image of the man's back facing me with me calling out his name repeatedly just to have him shake his head whilst finding other people....ANY other people to shake hands with and thank for coming. I can't help the fact that I love every song and album this man man from debut through Legerdemain, but I just can't bring myself to buy Claptrap. Just not another penny for this jerk.
I hear ya. But most of the time when an artist makes a song this timeless, they become a household name. I feel as if Duncan didn't get the same treatment and he REALLY deserved it. He was an epitome of the 90's and still a staple on my playlist.
This song really gets to me!!..his voice is so perfectly beautiful! ♡ this song!..u can see the pain in his eyes when he sings u hear it!..that's y its so gd!!
Escutava muito essa música na rádio Oi FM do RJ.. em meados de 2007, 2008.. uma época maravilhosa da minha vida... Demorei exatamente 11 anos procurando essa música sem saber o nome e o cantor... Hoje dia 27 de fevereiro de 2019, consegui achar... Muito foda esse som, me traz muita paz ❤️
This is easily my favorite song ever! I used to feel the same way. Barely breathing and I can't find the air. Don't know who I'm kidding imaging you care I could stand here waiting a fool for another day. I went through hell for that crazy bitch. But I can happily say I finally found love and I couldn't be happier. Here's to great music from a great era. Man I miss the good days
Met DS twice (once right before and once right after rehab) and while the difference was apparent he was the same gentle soul both times. He has earned and deserves all the good things he gets.
I was 10 in 96. I lisrened to all this music then but watched anime on tv instead of these beautiful live performances. I was innocent and full of love and hope. I'm 35 now and revert back to this because I need it to overcome a suicidal depression. What a marvel it is to know I lived in the era of this music's inception. What a beautiful generation we had to be blessed with such loving vulnerability.
